A Message for Youth for Social Change
Young people are often the ones pushing society for social change. We see that in recent protest movements - Occupy, Climate Change, Dreamers and Black Lives Matter. This book is a great way to get young minds to imagine their power to move society without resorting to apathy or violence. Something we desperately need to offer them, another way.
